I'll second that Geo. But there were a few more good Ponchos after that too. The youth of today, (40 yrs old and younger), haven't got a clue what a superior riding car feels like. With todays unit-body crap boxes, and thin sidewall tires, it's like riding in a stage-coach with wooden wheels. I miss the days.
@@georgeharleydavidsonrider156 Well, it is a "New Year", but can't say how happy I am about it. But it's the thought that counts Geo, so thanks, and enjoy yours also. Can't wait for this frigid winter to end. It's pretty cold here, in southern New England.
Thanks for sharing people in my family had Pontiacs and Oldsmobile also dodge I don't know if I'll ever forgive General Motors I can't drive now because of vision but I still have my old DodgeI have my first car was a 77 Firebird and I had the pleasure of having my grandfathers 72 luxury lemans
My grandfather had a '68 Catalina two-door sedan (!) from 1970 to '77. I really loved that car! I can picture it today if I had it in my possession. I could have put eight-lug wheels on it and stuck a 455 under the hood. It really would have been something!
IF I could go back in time I'd go back to 1969 and buy a FULLY loaded 1969 G.T.O. JUDGE, there is nothing like it!!! My older cousin had a 1970 plain GTO, no options except for A/C and Automatic.
My ideal 1968 Pontiac is a Bonneville Brougham 4-door hardtop in two-tone Flambeau Burgundy Metallic (body) and Starlight Black (roof; in lieu of a Cordova roof) (order code NA; burgundy and black, respectively) with Burgundy Knit Prima Cloth and Expanded Morrokide upholstery (order code=558). Front disc brakes, among other options, would make it even more desirable!
When I was 5 in 1980 my neighbors grandmother had a 68 Bonneville that we played in..it was only 12 years old back then yet seemed so old and outdated to me...smelled old too
Finally got a 68 G.P. today first car I even got on E Bay. And she a rare color combo. I have several Pontiac s 61-62. Let Mans. 61 -62 Catalina's. 2 rare big block 4 speed 67 G.P.'s one a rag top.
In my opinion, Pontiac was to me dollar for dollar the best value of the 5 divisions back then.The drove alot better and felt heavier than a Chevy,had better interior materials,and the Pontiac engines were a really good dependable engine.
The American automobile industry at its peak in 1968. Pontiac built some amazing vehicles and it’s a shame they are no longer with us.

Pontiac had a great year for 68. They were #3 in the industry again. Their sales were far and away ahead of the rest of the "Medium Priced Field".

Dodge used that opening tune in 1967 for the dart gt in the tom Lehrer presentation.
Dad had Plenty from 67-72 worked for the Advertisement Dept of G.M. /Pontiac/Olds . Always got a free car every 3 months

Those 68 Pontiacs sure look beautiful.
Just bought a 1968 Lemans today....Been waiting for years, and finally got one.

Wow,this is a cool advertisement.
My first car was a 68 Parisienne.
Loved that car.
From the blind left hand turns to blasting through the meadows, zero damns were given in a Pontiac in 1968.
Yeah, Baby! Good old days, indeed!
Love it
My 68 firebird is still a competitive sports car

Miss my 69 judge but love my 73 transam
let;s go wide tracking.
I wish we'd kept our Bonneville!

It interesting to see the 400 emblem on the lower rocker on the GTO. I wonder if the if the Lemans @ 1:01 was a 350 HO car being it had dual exhaust.
good catch, I bet it was a H.O.
Like that tune in the first part of this film. What is the name of the song?
that looks like one of the Cape Cod bridges
Bluewater bridge to Canada, they filmed a scene for Bless the child. I was there when the car went off the bridge.
No Catalina?
